The panelists discuss the AI process, from the initial implementation of AI initiatives to the differences it makes for patients on the hospital floor. Also included is a reflection on how AI played a role in SLUHN’s processes during the COVID-19 pandemic and how they used AI to cement their status as a leading healthcare provider in central-eastern Pennsylvania. The featured panelists are:

  • Network medical director of provider informatics at SLUHN

• Chad Brisendine

  • Vice president, chief information officer at SLUHN

“Artificial Intelligence is used in our technology platform as a means to provide additional safety nets to our patients and the care they receive,” said Jen Grell, senior director of clinical informatics and training at SLUHN. “It’s all about looking at clinical outcomes for our patients and finding the right technology to enhance clinical care.”
